The Rockstar That Saved Me

Chapter 3

I was spending my last few minutes with Roxas while Jax and Zac loaded my stuff into the car. "I transferred the money into your bank account. Here's your keys to your car." I rolled my eyes. "How generous of you." Zac sighed. "Don't be like that Ro." I glared at him as Jax took Roxas to say goodbye and to let us talk. "I will act this way, Zac. You are ruining my life. Taking my baby from me isn't going to help, it's going to make it worse." I said through clenched teeth. Trying not to yell.

"Take my house. I don't care. Leave me I don't give a s**t but take away my baby, and you take away my reason to live!" Zac rolled his eyes. "Stop being dramatic Rogue!" I clenched my fist trying not to fight, not in front of Roxas. "Was I being dramatic when you found me passed out with blood on the floor after I found out about that gold-digging b***h! Was I Zac?! Your sister has tried to take her life so many times. How do you think that I'm being dramatic? You have never cared. So go ahead and take my baby from me. Kill me, Zac."

I turned around to storm off and say one last goodbye to my baby when Zac grabbed my arm and yanked me back. "Don't you ever f*****g talk about Jessica that way! She is ten times the woman you are. She knows my needs and wants. She will be the best mom to Roxas. Way better than his attention w***e of a mother." His grip on my arm was so tight that I knew it was going to bruise, and he was inches away from my face.

"Go ahead, Zac. Why don't you hit me one last time for old time's sake? I hope Jessica is prepared to be your punching bag now that I'm gone." His grip got tighter and he raised his fist. I was jerked away but not before Zac's fist hit my eye. Jax stood in between Zac and I. He raised his fist to hit him. "Jax don't! It's not worth it."

"The f**k it isn't! No one hits my cousin! Call the police Ro." I put my hand on his shoulder. "It won't do any good Jax! He has connections. He just tells them that I freaked out and did it to myself. Why do you think he got custody so easily?" Jax looked at me pissed off. "He's hit you before?! Why the f**k didn't you leave? Or tell me?" I looked over to where Roxas was playing in his sandbox, oblivious to what had just happened. When I looked back at Jax I knew he understood. "I would have gone through this sooner."

Zac had a smirk on his face. "Say goodbye Rogue. Don't try to see him again." I started crying. "I promise as long as you promise not to hurt him. Please, Zac." His smirk grew bigger. "I would never do that to him. That's just for freaks like you baby"

I turned and walked over to Roxas. "Roxas, Mama has to go. Remember how I told you that Mama had to go on a trip?" He nodded his head, tears filling his eyes. "Don't leave me, Mama." I couldn't stop the tears that were pouring down my face. "I wish I didn't have to baby. I will come back and get you as soon as I can, I promise."

As I made Roxas that promise, I looked Zac straight in the eye. "Mama, will you call me?" I brought him close to my chest. "I will try, but I don't think I can unless Daddy says so." Roxas looked at Zac. "Daddy please let Mama call me." Zac's eyes softened. "We'll call mama once a week." I knew he did it for Roxas and that he would probably change his mind, but it made saying goodbye a little better.

"I have to go now, baby. I love you so much. Please don't think Mama is mad at you. I will be back as soon as I can." I hugged him tight as he cried on my shoulder. "Bye Mama. Love you." I hugged him one more time and kissed his head. "Now be good for Daddy okay baby?" He nodded as he grabbed Zac's hand as I was walking to my car. "Mama! You no hug Daddy!" I looked at Zac, not wanting to go near him.

"I'm sorry baby I forgot." I walked over to Zac and wrapped my arms around his neck. Part of me missed this feeling. The other part of me knew what a cruel man he was. "Don't forget a kiss Mama!" Zac smirked. "Yeah, Mama." I smirked, which made him falter. I gave him one of my kisses that always landed us in the bedroom. I felt him get hard as he groaned into our kiss. My lips trailed across his jaw and up to his ear, leaving hickeys along the way. "Can she make you feel like that? I will be back for him, Zac. By the way, I hope Jessica doesn't mind those hickeys on your neck."

His eyes widened, and he put a hand over his neck. I smirked as I gave Roxas one last hug and kiss and walked to my car acting like I was confident, but my heart was breaking inside. I will get my baby back. He is my only reason to live.

That night I got drunk. Jax drank with me to keep me company and make sure I didn't do anything stupid or harm myself. I could tell that he was pissed that I didn't tell him everything that happened, but he didn't want to upset me more. "Just spit it out already." I slurred. He clenched his teeth and glared at me. "Why didn't you tell me? I would have helped you. You shouldn't have stopped me from kicking his ass." I tipped my head back, emptying my glass and looked at him before I grabbed the bottle to get more. ""Which is exactly why I didn't. He's taken everything else from me and I can't let him take you from me as well. You would be in prison and I would be fucked."

He sighed, "I could have helped you out in different ways. I have connections too, you know." Jax was a professional skateboarder. "Yeah well, Zac's connections are football people. Unfortunately, more people care about football than skateboarding." Jax kinda growled, "We won't know now, will we? You didn't give me a chance to help." I glared at him and threw my hands up. "I was trying to keep you out of prison Jax! I also had him holding my son over my head. Do you know how long he has been f*****g Jessica? Since before Roxas was born! At least when he was with her, I didn't have to pretend to want to f**k him. I could focus on Roxas. I didn't get beat every day, but God forbid she pissed him off because he made up for the missed beatings. I just wanted to escape reality when hanging out with you, is that so wrong?"

Jax sighed and came over and wrapped me in a hug. "I'm sorry Ro. I just hate that you went through this all alone and I didn't see the signs. Though I guess you were good at hiding things before all of this with your parents." I tensed at the mention of my parents. Saying that they were even parents brought a sour taste to my mouth. They were perfect 'parents' on the outside to everyone else, but inside, behind doors, they were abusive only to me. My brother was perfect to them and did no wrong. I, however, got so fed up with the abuse that I received even when I did nothing wrong, that I rebelled. I became the bad girl at school. I got in trouble with the law. I was ruining their perfect image and got beat for it, but I fought back.

"I am actually surprised that I didn't notice the signs with Zac from the very beginning. He's a good actor, and I'm pretty sure he just wanted to 'tame' the bad girl." Jax pulled back. "You ignore things when you're in love. You're out now and all that matters is working on getting Roxas back." I grab my glass again. "You're right, but tonight I'm going to get drunk and numb the pain. Then I will work my ass off to get my baby back."
